Winter Killing of Fruit Trees.

There is wide difference in the hardi-
ness of different varieties of fruit trees.
Some varieties endure severe freezing better
than others. A variety that lives one win
ter may die the next because of the chang
es surrounding IT,; and so a tender variety
may live, VIII IN one naturally more hardy
dies Sudden changes often work disastr-
ously. This was seen III the winter of 1853
1 in belt of country extending from New
FORK TO Michigan. Ounce trees and pear
trees on ounce stocks were greatly injured
by rapid succession of very warm and in
tensely cold weather. The result was, that
nearly all the trees that were not sheltered
were destroyed, or SO weakened that they
continued to die till late in the summer.
The warmth had promoted sap circua-
tion, and the say, suddenly freezing, formed
little crystals in the wood, which lacerated
the fibres bv every motion of tine swayng
trees. This cause may be supplemented
by sucn freezing and thawing of the
limbs and branches us dries the life out of
them. In all such cases the injury to trees
will be in proportion To the exposure, and
so the protection OF good wind breaks is OF
great Importance. In that memorable
season of such widespread loss, those trees
that cnanced to be sheltered from the winds
escaped. It was also observed that the
loss was not so great with trees Oh clayey
soil that shed off the water, as on sandy
soil that was filed with water.
wise precaution against winter killing
in sections where there is danger, is not to
cultivate late in season. The culture that
stimulates a late growth of soft wood that
does not ripen before the severity of winter
sets in is to be avoided. The immature
wook is easily injured, the cells are rup-
tured by freezing and thawing, and the
disorganized cells in spring are no longer
able TO PERFORM their Office. Secure an
easy growth of wood that will ripen in
time to be ready for all changes OF weather,
and you will have comparative secur-
ty,

Character and compOsition OF Cream.


Cream is the fatty portion OF the milk
which rises TO the top when the milk
stands a rest The difference in the speci
lic gravity of cream and milk necessarily
causes this separation; indeed to some ex-
tent this separation is partially made in the
reservoirs OF the udder, for it is we'll
established fact, that the first drawn milk
| is less rich in cream, or fat, than that drawn
at the end of the milking.
The cream rises more rapidly under GER
tain circumstances, as when the milk is set
in deep pals in cold water, .at temperature
OF forty. five degrees. when all the cream is
raised through eighteen or twenty inches
of milk in twelve hours; while at sixty de
grees il will require thirty hours to rise
completely through three inches of milk set
in shallow pans. Also when the milk is
diluted with water, the cream rises more
quickly, because the cream becomes less
adherent. The low temperature of forty
! FIVE degrees reduces the milk to almost its
maximum density, which Is at thirty-nine
| degrees; hence the cream is comparatively
! lighter than at higher temperature This
fact is taken advantage of in the use Of the
deep pals and low temperature for setting
milk for cream; an innovation which has
/ been of the greatest value In butter max
ing. The cream raised in this manner Is,
however, more fluid, and has more milk
mixed with it than that raised in shallow
pans; but this is also an advantage, because
il is then in the best condition in respect Of
! huidity for the churn.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, March l6.-Time was,
and not very long ago either, that when
Congress sdjourned the Senators and
members made all haste to leave the city
of muddy streets and comfortless accom-
modatlons. In those days there was no
sewerage Of any account, the streets were
a mass of mud; the river Tiber, which
now runs under the city, was open and
the air full of malaria. Washington was
then q sickly place and very undesirable
site for the capitol. Everybody who came
wanted to leave as soon as possible.
There was good deal of tJIk then about
moving the capitol, and the conditions Of
the city furnished a strong impetus to-
wards the agitation of this subject. The
hour demanded the man and he came
forth. His name was Shepherd, and they
called him "Boss." He had a way Of
pushing things in spite of all opposition
and he fairly compelled Congress to do
what it should have done years before.
The consequence is that it is now the
cleanest and most beautiful of American
cities. 1t is delightful residence place
and it will, no doubt, in time be the cen
ter of fashion in this country.

In the years gone by public men as soon
as their duties were finished hurried on
TO their distant homes, glad to escape the
discomforts Of Washington. How
changed are their habits now. They
linger, many OF them, ABOUT the pleasant
a avenues and lounge IN the lObOies of their
comfortable hotels, iOath to leave this
beautiful city of magnificent distances
Not few of the members, and nearly all
of the Senators, own o. rent residences,
and stay until the warm weather drives
them 10 mountain End seaside. To them
these quiet months are, no doubt, the
pleasautest Of the year. The rush and
roar and rattle of Congress is over;
society is taking & rest after one OF its
most brilliant seasons, and the soft, Testtal
atmosphere OF q Washington spring acts
ike g charm on their tired faculties.
Among the well known members of the
last Congress who will spend these de-
IighttuI months in Washington, is William
L. Scott, of Pennsylvania. Mr.. Scott
has been much talked about of late as Mr.
Manniug's successor to the Treasury port
folio, and the knowing ones declare that
he has more reasons than one in staying
here after the adjournment of Congress.
There is hardly doubt but what he is
for he has had q number of interviews
with the President and bis name is on the
fAps q every one in Washington. Should
" BE- called to the Cabinet, the Republic
cans will gain q seat in the House next
session, for the district he represents has
8 Republican majority, though Mr.. Scott
has bten-JW!ce sent to Congress from 1t.
TIE peTsOpsI history of the PennsYlYa-
pIa CONGRESSMAN reads like a page from
some old-.ime romance. To-day at fifty
eight he is the pOssessOr Of SIS, 100000,
the richest man IN Congress, and the TN
ployeT Of 900 men. Thirty years ago
he was peDniless man, peddling fish
about the streets of Erie. His early life
and WaIdeTiDgS make a singular story.
He himself knows very little about his
birth and the first years of his life. He Is
the son Of q colonel in the regular, army,
q VIrgiuiau by birth and education,
though resident in Washington st the
time young Scott was born. So that the
Pennsylvania congressman has the unique
distinction of being the only member who
was born at the capital. Both Colonel
Scott and his wife died while
their son was yet mere lad.
They were in poor circumstances, and
the boy was turned out into the world to
shift for himself. The first of his numer-
Gus occupations that he can remember
was when early il his teens he found
himself page in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes He was popular with the
members, obliginS and polite in his man
ners, ike many Of the little fellows are
t,-day. and made many friends among
the congressman. Mr.. Reed, who then
represented the Erie district in the
House, took great interest in the bright
little fellow, and towards the end ot the
session he asked him if he wouldn't like
10 20 home with him. Having nowhere
Else to 20 when Congress sdiOurned,
Scott complied, and was put to work as
shipping clerk GA the wharyes of his-em-
ployer, who WAS 81 that time one Of the
principal owners Of The now almost van
isHug shipping Of the crest lakes.
